"Spectacular Legacy Of The AWA" DVD Out Next Month - Match Listings
World Wrestling Entertainment will be releasing "Spectacular Legacy of the AWA" next month on DVD, focusing on Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association promotion.
Here is a detailed description of the DVD:
"This 2 Disc set starts off with a 2 hour documentary showing where it all started in the Midwest, and grew in stature until it was rivaling WWE and WCW for national supremacy, its champion on par with their promotions. The AWA launched hundreds of careers, including Ric Flair, the Road Warriors, Sgt. Slaughter, Jesse Ventura, and so many more. It's the promotion where the Immortal Hulk Hogan first rose to prominence and the Showstoppa Shawn Michaels took center stage. The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA profiles the amazing rise of the promotion to where it was considered one of the "Big 3" through its end."
